​the andy Carswell Building

Veterans' House: the Andy Carswell Building is Multifaith Housing Initiative's fifth housing community and first house built exclusively for veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This pioneering project specifically targets the needs of the rising number of homeless veterans who are "living rough" in Ottawa, and combines safe housing with essential on-site rehabilitation services.

We have created a unit-style community where each of our 40 homeless or at-risk veterans has immediate access to support services from a variety of partner agencies. This supportive “Housing First” model gives our veterans a safe place to live, as well as the opportunity to recover from health, mental health and addiction-related issues, if applicable. Not only does the supported housing model improve the overall quality of life but it does so in recognition of crucial and unbreakable experience of military bonds that exist for all in the military community from veterans to their families.

Using the former CFB Rockcliffe Airbase lands in Ottawa, the building comprises 40 bachelor units and communal space.
